Riding a zip line in Alaska
An evening pause: This zip line is clearly not as long a ride as this one, but who cares? And the finish is faster.

Lurie and Atkinson – writing Shakespeare
The Music Man – Till there was you
An evening pause: The same song, two versions, from the 1962 movie, and then from the 2003 television production.
A day made of glass
An evening pause: Though it really doesn’t make sense to spend the money for electronic road signs, this public relations video from Corning still gives one a hint of some of the cool technology coming down the pike.
As Arthur Clarke once said, “Any science sufficiently advanced is indistinguishable from magic.”

Walking through the new American Amundsen Scott South Pole station
An evening pause: In honor of the 100th anniversary of Roald Amundsen’s arrival at the South Pole on this date, 1911, lets take a tour through the recently completed new Amundsen Scott South Pole station.
At one point right after walking through the cafeteria the cameraman points the camera out a window where you can see several flagpoles. That is where the actual South Pole is located. The camera than looks out a second window at a partly buried dome, which is the old station, no longer in use.
This video astonishes at what humans can accomplish in the most hostile environments.
Mark “Indy” Kochte – West Virginia Nights 2011
An evening pause: Time lapse photography by Mark “Indy” Kochte. At one point the time-lapse sequence shows Seneca Rocks near the end of the day, with the lights of the climbers visible as they rappel off the mountain.
Quadriga Consort – Carolan’s Cup / The Two William Davises
Paul McCartney and Wings – Band on the Run
An evening pause: The official music video by Wings. To me, the video clearly makes this Paul McCartney’s farewell song to the Beatles.
